Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.208.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

'''Los Jaivas''' is a Chilean musical group who perform in folk, rock, psychedelic, and [[progressive rock]] styles formed in 1963 in Viña Del Mar, Chile. They are considered one of the most important and influential artists of all time in Latin America.

==History==
The origins of Los Jaivas can be found in the family nucleus made up of the brothers Eduardo, Claudio and Gabriel Parra, from [[Viña del Mar]]. Together with their friends and classmates from high school at the Liceo Guillermo Rivera Cotapos, located on Calle Montaña (a few steps de la Quinta Vergara),<ref>[http://www.mercuriovalpo.cl/site/edic/20030920010514/pags/20030920021256.html Histórica celebración de Los Jaivas], El Mercurio de Valparaíso, September 20, 2003</ref> Los Jaivas appeared in Chilean music in August 15, 1963, under the name of The High & Bass as a progressive-rock-andino group, mixing rock with South American ancestral music.<ref name="musicapopular.cl">((cite web |title=Los Jaivas |url=http://www.musicapopular.cl/grupo/los-jaivas/ |website=MusicaPopular.cl |access-date=15 October 2022 |language=es))</ref><ref>((Cite news |last=Pareles |first=Jon |date=1985-05-01 |title=Music/Noted in Brief; Chilean Band Offers South American Pop |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/01/arts/music-noted-in-brief-chilean-band-offers-south-american-pop.html |access-date=2022-06-02 |issn=0362-4331))</ref> This name was proposed by Rolando Fuentes (a friend of founding member Claudio Parra during high school).<ref>This version was told by Claudio Parra and Rolando Fuentes to the audience during a concert in November 4th, 2017 at Colegio Sagrado Corazón de Apoquindo, Santiago, Chile</ref> 

At that time in Chile, it was customary to use English names for musical bands.<ref>((Cite web |date=2020-12-16 |title='People were put in jail for music': a brief history of Latin American rock |url=http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/dec/16/people-were-put-in-jail-for-music-a-brief-history-of-latin-american-rock |access-date=2022-06-02 |website=the Guardian |language=en))</ref> Another source indicates that the name is a reference to the members differences in height, since the word in Spanish for bass guitar is the same as that for short (bajo). Another source explains the name as a reference to the bass guitar played at a very high volume compared to the other instruments.<ref name="npr">((Cite news |last=Zolov |first=Eric |date=2011-03-18 |title=Los Jaivas: How The Band Tried To Mend A Broken Chile In The 1970s |language=en |work=NPR |url=https://www.npr.org/sections/altlatino/2011/03/19/134631953/los-jaivas-trying-to-glue-a-broken-chile |access-date=2022-06-02))</ref> During the following six years, and with its stable formation (Eduardo on keyboards, Claudio on accordion and piano, Gabriel on drums, Gato on guitar and Mario on bass) the band develops its musical proposal at parties and social gatherings in Viña del Mar, mainly performing music tropical, cha cha cha, bossa nova and boleros, with good results.<ref name="musicapopular.cl" /><ref name="stock">Stock, Freddy (2002). ''Los caminos que se abren: La vida mágica de Los Jaivas, Santiago, Grijalbo''</ref>

They quickly realized that an English-sounding name was not appropriate for a folk band, so they changed it to ''Jaivas'' (HIGH-BASS), a "Chileanized" pronunciation of "high bass" which ignores the fact that ''bass'' (the musical instrument) rhymes with ''base'' and ''lace'' in English, as opposed to the word ''bass'' (the fish) which rhymes with ''cass'' and ''lass'', which is how the syllable ''vas'' is pronounced in the band's name. The spelling of Jaivas is a misspelling of the word ''jaibas'', which means [[crab]]s in Spanish.<ref>((cite web |title=JAIBA |url=http://etimologias.dechile.net/?jaiba |website=Etimologías de Chile - Diccionario que explica el origen de las palabras |access-date=15 October 2022 |language=es))</ref> 

Between 1970 and 1971, and with its Spanishized name "Los Jaivas", the group's concerts became absolute improvisations, without scripts or prepared schemes, and with each musical instrument generating its own atmosphere, even with the help of the audience. Improvisation leads them to the appreciation of Latin American musical roots and to the exploration of the sounds of ancestral instruments, which allows them to combine apparently irreconcilable styles, but which Los Jaivas decide to capture in their subsequent musical creation.<ref name="musicapopular.cl" /><ref name="stock" />

Several concerts from this time, including those held at the Vanguard Music Festival of Viña del Mar (January 1970), the Sala de la Reforma of the Faculty of Musical Arts and Sciences of the [[University of Chile]] (May 1970), the Cine Arte de Viña del Mar (June 1970) and the Park of the Cultural Institute of Las Condes (May 1970), in addition to the soundtrack prepared for a film that was never made (''¿Qué Hacer?'' by Raúl Ruiz, soundtrack recorded in October 1970), are reflected in the five-disc collection entitled La Vorágine, which documents the stage known as the Prehistory of Los Jaivas.<ref name="musicapopular.cl" />

During this time, in addition, the group participates in the mythical Red Stone Festival and records its first official record label, homonymous, but known as El Volantín, due to its characteristic cover. The album, released in 1971, contains improvisations along the lines of the avant-garde explored previously, but it also includes the first compositional sketches, especially on songs like "Foto de Primera Comunión" and "Que o la Tumba Seras".<ref>((cite web |title=Los Jaivas REBELDE 1 |url=http://www.dospotencias.com.ar/rebelde/jaivas.htm |website=www.dospotencias.com.ar |access-date=15 October 2022))</ref>

The band took refuge in [[Argentina]] after [[Chilean 1973 coup|the military dictatorship took over]] in Chile.<ref name="npr" /> In 1977, they headed to [[France]], where they resided for a long time. The first major change in the band occurred in 1988 when Gabriel died in [[Peru]] in a [[car crash]]. His daughter Juanita took his place behind the drums. In January 2003, the main singer, Gato Alquinta, died in [[Coquimbo]], Chile, of a heart attack while swimming in the sea. Gato's three sons soon joined the band to replace him: Ankatu (guitar), Eloy (saxophone) and Aurora (vocals). Aurora left shortly after, and Eloy died of a heart attack in 2004. Ankatu, however, is still a member of the band.((Citation needed|date=October 2021))

Among various other activities, in 2006 the group performed a historic concert on [[Easter Island]], in addition to the [[Chilean Navy]] orchestra, and as part of the celebrations for the month of the sea. On September 20, 2006, [[Canal 13 (Chilean TV channel)|Canal 13]] broadcasts the television special ''Los Jaivas en Rapa Nui: Ojos Que Miran el Universo'', which includes fragments of the recital, as well as interviews with the group and with inhabitants of the Island. The DVD that includes the event It was finally launched on the market in November 2007 under the title of ''Los Jaivas en Rapa Nui''.<ref>((cite news |title=Este 26 de noviembre LANZAMIENTO DVD “LOS JAIVAS EN RAPA NUI” |url=http://www.apes.cl/wordpress/?p=408 |access-date=16 October 2022 |work=APES Asesorías |date=23 November 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071211080003/http://www.apes.cl/wordpress/?p=408 |archive-date=11 December 2007 |language=es))</ref> On March 22, 2011 Los Jaivas make a presentation in tribute to the then American president [[Barack Obama]] in the courtyard of Los Cañones of the [[Palacio de La Moneda (Chile)|Palacio de La Moneda]].<ref>((cite news |title=Mini recital de Los Jaivas en La Moneda generó polémica en la red |url=http://www.cooperativa.cl/mini-recital-de-los-jaivas-en-la-moneda-genero-polemica-en-la-red/prontus_nots/2011-03-21/220035.html |access-date=15 October 2022 |work=Cooperativa.cl |date=21 March 2011 |language=Spanish))</ref>

The band celebrated its 50th anniversary in an open concert on the front of the National Museum of Fine Arts of Santiago de Chile. Special guests were [[Inti-Illimani|Inti Illimani]], [[Los Tres]] and [[Congreso]] among others. The concert attracted a multitude of over 60,000 people, causing mayor upheaval in the city, and the police had to intervene with water cannons.<ref>((Cite web |last=Moraga |first=Marcos |date=2013-08-16 |title=Los Jaivas celebran sus 50 años de historia con más de 60 mil asistentes |url=https://www.latercera.com/noticia/los-jaivas-celebran-sus-50-anos-de-historia-con-mas-de-60-mil-asistentes/ |access-date=2022-06-02 |website=La Tercera))</ref>

== Biopic ==
In March 2013, the same year as the celebration of the band's 50th anniversary, Chilean-Dutch filmmaker [[Erasmo de la Parra]] (son of Claudio Parra) convinced the musicians to make a biopic based on the band's formative years. The film would be set in the 1960s in Viña del Mar, from the time they were known as "The High Bass" to the time they became known as "Los Jaivas". The director revealed on the film's official Facebook page that the production would have gone through long negotiations with Netflix, but that the production house eventually chose other projects. The film, titled ''The High Bass'', is in pre-production with an unknown release date, and with the participation of Belgian, Dutch, and British producers.<ref>((Cite web |last=Suárez |first=Constanza |date=2017-03-28 |title=High Bass: preparan la primera película acerca de Los Jaivas |url=https://www.latercera.com/culto/2017/03/28/high-bass-preparan-la-primera-pelicula-acerca-los-jaivas/ |access-date=2022-06-03 |website=La Tercera))</ref><ref>((Cite web |last=Hub |first=Filmarket |date=2018-07-23 |title=Interview with Erasmo Parra, author of “High Bass” Special Mention at 5th Pitchbox |url=https://medium.com/filmarket-hub-academy/interview-with-erasmo-parra-author-of-high-bass-special-mention-at-5th-pitchbox-9c253bf02fe1 |access-date=2022-06-03 |website=Filmarket Hub |language=en))</ref>
